|Story Start|

I grinned and re-climbed my tree. I made it to the highest branch before looking back down and waving "Come on guys! Come up here so we can chill!" I yelled down. I saw Sasuke smirk and Naruto was bouncing with glee while Sakura... well she just glared at me. I sighed so we were back to glaring then? And just when I thought we were becoming friends to! Oh well life goes on...

Then Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura proceeded into focusing chakra to their feet. Then when they all looked about ready they charged at a tree. Naruto ran up a couple centimeters before falling smack on his head. "Careful Naruto-kun!" I yelled out hoping he was okay. Next I looked at Sasuke I grinned he ran up a couple of feet before he used too much chakra and his foot made a little indent in the tree. He marked his place before falling gracefully to the ground.

Next I looked at Sakura "ALRIGHT! Good job Sakura-chan! You're almost as high as me! Air high five!" I yelled at her sticking my hand up into the air. Sakura was only a couple of branched down from me. Sakura frowned at first before beaming and sticking her hand out as well. "Thanks Shiomi-chan!" She giggled.

My little praise caused Naruto and Sasuke to look over at us. "Well, it looks like both female members of this squad have the most advanced chakra control. Good job girls, and this time you didn't get distracted and fall. Good job Shiomi" Kakashi told us with a grin.

Sakura and I giggled and we stuck our tongues out at the boys. "Way to go Sakura-chan! I always knew you were awesome! Believe it!" Naruto said trying to get the attention of the bubblegum haired kunoichi. "Oh and you too Shiomi-chan!" he added on as an after thought. I grinned and waved "Thanks Naruto-kun" I replied.

I glanced at Sasuke who was looking at Sakura with a jealous glare. Sakura practically fell out of the tree when she noticed and her head bowed in sadness. I sighed but then got an idea "Hey Sasuke-kun, how 'bout we make a deal if you can make it to where Sakura-chan is by the end of the week... then I'll do whatever you want for 3 days! And if you don't... well then you get to do whatever I want for a whole week" I said with an evil grin.

Sasuke smirked at me, I knew he wasn't one to turn down a bet. "Game on" he grumbled before setting out for the tree again. "HEY SAKURA-CHAN WHY DON'T WE MAKE A DEAL?" Naruto yelled up at her. Sakura groaned "NO WAY NARUTO!" She yelled throwing down a branch and making it hit his head. I laughed "Okay Naruto-kun why don't you try to get... as high as Sakura and I'll buy you some ramen when we get back... fair deal?" I asked him with a slight grin. Naruto jumped up happily "YOU GOT A DEAL!" he yelled going to try again.

After a couple of minutes both boys were panting a bit and seemed to want to quit. I was about to motivate them but Kakashi beat me too it.

"Well, not only do the girls understand chakra, they can control and maintain it as well. We spoke about a certain some one becoming hokage one day... didn't we? It seems like Sakura and Shiomi got the best chance wouldn't you say?" he asked egging on Naruto. "And as for the great Uchiha clan... well maybe they aren't so great after all" Kakashi finished. Sasuke looked slighty angry and Naruto looked determined. "SHUT UP SENSEI YOU TALK TOO MUCH!" Sakura immediately yelled out with an accusing finger. I sighed "Sakura-chan please don't talk to nii-san like that, thanks" I muttered to her. She glowered at me for a minute before sighing and falling down the tree to try again. "OH and don't forget out little deals boys!" I teased making them smirk slightly.

Sasuke and Naruto glanced at each other before they each got a determined expression on their faces. Then both boys charged at the tree and attempted to climb them... again.


So it's been a couple of hours since we started tree climbing and during that time Sasuke and I had started to pant a bit but otherwise he had progressed very well and I was climbing to improve my no dostraction thing. Naruto had fallen so many times that there was now a large goose egg sitting on top of his blond head and Sakura was totally out of breath and slumped against a tree a sighed and walked over to her we both definitely needed a break.

I had sent Kakashi home because I wanted him to hurry up and get better. Besides it's not like anything interesting was going to happen while we were training.

Naruto looked like he was debating something, but eventually he sighed and walked over to us. He looked at Sakura and I with a slightly blushing face "Hey you guys are good at this... how 'bout some advice? But please please don't tell Sasuke I asked!" Naruto pleaded in a whispering voice. I looked over at Sasuke who was look at Naruto with an interesting expression. It was a not cold and mean like usual.

I grinned at Sakura and told her to answer him. I moved over closer to where Sasuke was "Hey... if you need help just ask me 'kay?" I told him with a grin. Sasuke looked at me before nodding slightly and proceeding to attack the tree. Me? Well I slowly started to doze off.


|After Training|

I eventually woke up and I noticed Sasuke slowly making his way over to me, "You did great!" I told him with a smile. He smirked at me and stuck a hand out. I took it and smiled gratefully "Now let's go for a walk" he said gently tugging me further into the forest. "Tell nii-san we'll be a little late" I called back to Naruto. I faintly heard a loud "YES SHIOMI-CHAN!" Before we were completely alone.

We walked in a comfortable silence until we made it into a meadow full of vibrant flowers. It was beautiful, there were sunflowers, daisy's, violets, marigolds, forget-me-not, lilies and even roses. I glanced over a Sasuke who was looking at me with a smirk etched on his face. "So..." I said tearing my eyes away from the scene in front of me. "So..." he echoed. Oh my goodness it was so awkward.

I laughed "When have we ever been awkward? What's on your mind Sasuke-kun?" I asked. I decided to sit down so I patted the spot next to me and he obliged sitting right next to me. His legs touched my crossed knees and I clasped his hand in mine. "Do you remember anything before you blacked out?" he asked. I sighed I knew this would pop up sooner or later...

"Well... I remember that you said something to me but I can't remember what it was" I told him smiling slightly. Sasuke smirked at me "Of course you don't" he muttered "Well are you going to tell me?" I asked him after a couple moments of silence.

"No."

I glared at him "How come?" I whined. He smirked and shrugged "Well why don't you figure it out yourself?" he asked lying back in the grass. I pouted "But I don't wanna..." I started, getting an idea. I slowly moved over to him so I was laying down on top of his muscular form. "Please Sasuke-kun" I asked moving my face closer to his. "Please tell me Sasuke-kun" I breathed trying to look as innocent as possible. I felt him shiver slightly and I smirked.

"I... uh... I..." he stuttered, I laughed "the great Uchiha speechless? Who would've known?" I teased poking him in the nose. Sasuke glared at me for a moment before taking a breath. I knew he was going to crack sooner or later. "I really like you Shiomi-chan, and I can't wait for our date. I need to ask you now" he started, sounding totally UN-Sasuke like. He looked so kind and caring and... loving. Not how he usually looks when we were with other people.

I stared at him questioningly. After a moment he finally asked me.

"Be my girlfriend"

I blinked and stared at him for a good long moment. "Really?" I whispered shocked but also really happy. He put his face in the crook of my neck and mumbled "Really." I grinned and moved so I could see his face. "On one condition..." I said with a mischievous smirk. "Hn...?" he asked.

"Kiss me."

Sasuke smirked, "That I can do" then he moved his face closer to mine and kissed me lightly on the lips. I smirked, a light peck simply won't do. I grabbed his face and pressed it closer to mine, deepening the kiss. I felt his hands slide down my bare waist and rest on my hips. His tongue slipped out and I opened mine, our tongues fought for dominance but eventually Sasuke won. I felt him smirk against my mouth at his little victory. My hands slowly became tangled in his raven locks while his hands snaked there way lower closer to my ass and slightly squeezing, making me moan slightly in the kiss.

After a little longer of making out I reluctantly pulled away since we both needed air. "So that was a yes I presume?" Sasuke asked once we finally caught our breaths. I smiled "Well I wouldn't be kissin' you if I said no" I replied before pulling him into another passion filled kiss.


Sasuke and I walked back hand in hand and I had a goofy smile on my face. I noticed that the sky was dark and the moon was peeking out from the blackness of the night. I guess we made out for longer than I thought... but anyways once we stepped into the house I was engulfed in a huge hug from Naruto.

"Shiomi-chan! I'm glad you're back! I thought teme might have raped you or something!" he yelled loudly squishing me. I laughed and hugged him back hearing Sasuke mutter a small "dobe" from behind me, "Don't worry Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun didn't rape me." I told him. I pulled away and looked at Kakashi he was giving Sasuke the evil eye. I laughed and went to go sit next to Sasuke, who had wondered over to the couch while I was hugged Naruto.

"So we were talking about room arrangements. Since I know neither Sakura nor Naruto can be with Sasuke those two will be together" I heard an angry groan come from Sakura and Naruto started jumping for joy. "Inari will stay with his mom, I'll share with Tazuna and that leaves Sasuke to be with Shiomi" Kakashi finished with a slight glare at Sasuke.

"But I want to be with Shiomi-chan!" Inari whined coming over to sit on my lap and glare angrily at Sasuke. I smiled "But what about your mom Inari? Don't you want to stay with her?" I asked him. To be honest I wouldn't mind staying with Sasuke... as long as he doesn't touch me anywhere inappropriate. Inari shook his head and pouted cutely at me.

"Aw Nii-san how am I supposed to say no to this face?" I asked him with a pout. Kakashi chuckled slightly "Well okay then. Tazuna can share with Tsunami, I'll stay with Sasuke and Inari you can go with Shiomi... everyone alright with that?" Kakashi asked seeming much more pleased by the way things were set out. I heard Sasuke sigh before glaring at the young child who was jumping for joy in my lap.

I chuckled "Don't worry Sasuke-kun, Kakashi nii-san isn't too bad... just be careful of his snoring." I whispered with a smirk. Sasuke groaned slightly before switching his gaze towards Kakashi. I laughed and hugged him causing Inari to become squished in between us. "Besides... you can always come to my room if you really want" I whispered causing him to smirk and look at me with eyes that had mischief written all over them.


So everyone got ready for bed and we all departed to our respective rooms. Sakura and Naruto shared the guest room, Tazuna and Tsunmai shared Tsunmai's room, Kakashi and Sasuke went to Tazuna's room and I went with Inari too his room.

I gave Kakashi a quick peck on the cheek then when he turned around I kissed Sasuke on the lips before winking and walking into the room.

Inari and I fit quite comfortably in the bed. I wrapped my arms around his small body and he snuggled into my chest and within minutes the small boy was asleep. I smiled contently before stroking his hair. I started to wonder what happened to him that made him always so sad. Sometimes I would catch him looking out at the ocean and crying his little heart out. I really wished I could help him, I decided I was going to ask Tsunmai or Tazuna what happened. I didn't want to ask Inari for fear he would get too upset.

My eye suddenly became heavier and I was struggling to stay awake. Faintly I heard the door open and a figure stepped into the room. I tried to see who it was but all I saw was a raven locks moving towards me before arms encircled my waist. My eyes fell shut but before I fell into the black abyss I heard his voice and felt his light kiss to my temple.

"Good night Shiomi-chan... I'll see you in the morning"
